Elon Musk's Standoff With Brazil Reaches a Tipping Point
Briefly

"Soon, we expect Judge Alexandre de Moraes will order X to be shut down in Brazil-simply because we would not comply with his illegal orders to censor his political opponents," X's global affairs account claimed in a post on Thursday night. "These enemies include a duly elected Senator and a 16-year-old girl, among others."
Musk, in his reaction, claimed that Moraes is "an evil dictator cosplaying as a judge," indicating a serious disagreement over legal interpretations and governance.
In its statement, X framed the court's decisions as breaking Brazil's own laws, alleging they are "illegal" and saying it would publish all related court documents.
Moraes already froze bank accounts belonging to Starlink, the satellite internet firm that Musk owns a portion of, indicating escalating tensions between Musk's companies and the Brazilian government.
